The little girl sees her dad. It’s Michael Dell”s (founder of Dell) brother (Adam Dell). They were in a heated child custody battle for years and they now share custody.

Thanks for the info Heh1978, I had been wondering about that. I looked up Michael Dell and Padma Lakshmi and apparently along with the custody battle (and battle for last name) Padma also told him that she’d hoped her other boyfriend, Teddy Forstmann (super rich) was the father. Apparently Teddy was under the impression that the kid was his so he left her a trust fund (he died). Jees, for whatever reason I thought Padma was one of those celebs who had her head straight but between not knowing who the father of her child is, keeping the kid from the actual father, convincing another one that he is the father, and being really nasty about visitation and naming rights I don’t really see her in a positive light anymore.

Like she has a choice with an uber controlling mother. Thankfully she came to her senses and realized the father was more than a sperm donor and had rights.

Man, this lady sounds so pretentious! Bleh. Plus, what a snooze-fest of an article. Why am I here again??? Haha.
